“On May 31, 2026, a local trans couple survived a targeted hate crime in Benton, Louisiana.

Sadly, this is the truth we are faced with as queer people. Just simply existing is enough to make someone angry and outraged, but now we are angry and outraged.

What a way to enter Pride Month.

THE KORNER LOUNGE DOES NOT STAND WITH HATE!

In longstanding tradition, we are doing what we do best — we're throwing a show. We are coming together to raise vital funds for our friend and patron (and her partner) with 100% of the proceeds from the door and all performer tips going directly to her.

This show is all about community spirit. We plan to have burlesque, belly dancing, drag, spoken word and even a song or two. Come out, show your love, and help us make a real difference for a patron who means the world to us.

LINEUP TO BE ANNOUNCED SOON!

Hosted by our fabulous Korner Kast member, Bernadette De'Stake

When: Saturday, July 4
Showtime: 9 PM
Where: The Korner Lounge, 800 Louisiana Ave. in downtown Shreveport
$10 Suggested Donation (after 7:30 pm); must be 21+ with valid ID
